A murder mystery set in the romantic English country side of a hundred and fifty years ago. Driven from his inheritance and rejected by his sweetheart, Rob takes refuge in an old house. He arrives to find a corpse on the floor. From then on women are found hung all round the district. Suspects are elusive. There is his own servant, Len, who calls himself a Jonah because the hangings seem to follow him around. Driven by anxiety for his neighbours two girls, Rob sets a trap for the old tramp, Jones, who wanders round talking to the lonely farm women. He catches the murderer only just in time.
